Bruce Jones was a founding pioneer in the surfboard shaping industry. The company he founded, Bruce Jones Surfboards, has built premium surfboards since 1973. Jones developed his skills by working with industry pioneers Hobart Alter founder of Hobie, Gordon Duane founder of Gordie Surfboards, and Dick Brewer founder of Dick Brewer Surfboards. Jones still shaped all of his company's boards until his death. ==Early years== Bruce Jones had been surfing since the age of 15, and his love for the sport and interest in the art of building boards suggested to him that he pursue this as a career choice. It turned out to be a good decision. Jones started in the gluing room for Hobie Surfboards. As the gluing room was right next to the shaping room, he had exposure to the finest shapers in the world at that time. Among them were Terry Martin, Ralph Parker, Dale Velzy and the legendary Phil Edwards. With some careful screening from Edwards, it was not long before Jones moved into shaping full-time.〔 Jones worked his way into rough shaping and then into the actual shaping room and lost no time in getting help from everyone involved. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruce Jones (surfboards)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
